Blue Jackets' Kevin Labanc: Lights lamp Saturday
Labanc tallied a goal and added three shots during Saturday's 7-2 loss to the Capitals.
Labanc netted his first goal of 2024-25 after potting six goals for the Devils in the preseason before signing with the Blue Jackets. Labanc has reached at least the 40-point plateau twice in his NHL career and could work his way up the depth chart, given that he has a goal and six points through eight outings for the Blue Jackets. Still, he needs more consistency to become a useful fantasy asset.

Blue Jackets' Kevin Labanc: Pockets first point with new team
Labanc earned an assist and blocked two shots in Saturday's 6-4 win over the Avalanche.
Labanc, who attended camp with the Devils before signing with the Blue Jackets, needed just two games to earn his first point with his new team. The 28-year-old winger has been listed on the second line, but his ice time has been more in line with a bottom-six role. Unless he can show some consistency on offense, he's unlikely to be an option in most fantasy formats, as he doesn't stand out in any particular category.

Devils' Kevin Labanc: Preseason hattie on PTO
Labanc recorded a hat trick in Thursday's 5-4 loss to the Flyers.
Labanc is in the Flyers camp on a PTO, and he's leading a lineup of mostly non-NHL players because most of the Devils team is in Europe for the NHL Global Series. And he's showing the way. Labanc had a three-point game Tuesday, too, and now has five goals, including power-play markers, and one assist in his last two games. He's playing for a spot in the team's bottom six and has done enough to show he can provide the squad and new coach Sheldon Keefe with depth scoring.

Devils' Kevin Labanc: Leads charge in preseason loss
Labanc scored two goals, one on the power play, and added an assist in Tuesday's 5-4 preseason loss to the Rangers.
With the Devils' regulars in Prague getting ready for the start of the regular season with a pair of Global Series games against the Sabres this weekend, Labanc skated on the top line and made an impact while leading the team in shots with seven. The veteran winger is in camp on a PTO competing for a depth forward spot, and should he see time with New Jersey this season, Labanc does have a modest track record of supplying offense in the NHL, including a 56-point campaign with the Sharks in 2018-19.
